Our mission
Protecting a Tallahassee treasure
Lake Munson is a 233-acre natural lake south of Tallahassee that serves as a vital habitat for wildlife, a natural filter for stormwater, and a beloved green space for the community. For decades it has faced threats from nutrient pollution, invasive species, and declining water quality.
Friends of Lake Munson was founded to give this lake a voice — to advocate, educate, and act on its behalf. We are neighbors, scientists, paddlers, and parents who believe this ecosystem deserves to thrive for generations to come.
